    OSE SRD Beta Test Request

    I do not think it is a priority either, just curious mostly. I like it lite and friendly. If you can keep it that way all the better. If you are considering it, to tailor it to each user an option to load a portion of CL into CTT when you wanted. For instance I am working on my OSE campaign and...

    Prepping The Demonplague

    I would volunteer, but commitment and schedule would pose quite a problem. Our group is currently a man down, he is recovering from knee surgery, and doesn't want to do online. We could do it in his room at the facility, but we get a little loud at times. And hopefully he is only there one more...

    Prepping The Demonplague

    How is the conversion going? Or did I miss something somewhere?

    Thank you for the updates and information.

    D&D WotC OGL Discussion

    So after sifting through several pages of information, all of which seems to be dated (several months old), I am still unsure what is going on now with this situation. Personally I do not have to currently worry about it, but as far as what is being done here what if anything did or will change?

    Openness/Closedness of a World in ALIEN RPG

    I agree, and even read the other forum. I personally use communication with the players, a lot, for these decisions. We are in this for fun, playing and GMing, so if people on both sides of the screen agree on the situation you can get away with anything. In DnD I believe Lahnkmar (?) was a city...

    OSE SRD Beta Test Request

    I looked around again last night and did not come across anything else. All the data seems to be correct. But of course thinking on it now (when not by my PC), I do not recall seeing anything referring to hirelings or mounts. I might have just missed them though.

    OSE SRD Beta Test Request

    Still at work, but after watching and reading stuff today, was curious if CTT can reference CL? For instance a NPC created in CL be referenced from a token in CTT? I would have both open already and be able to switch between tabs easily enough, but just curious if a direct link is possible.

    OSE SRD Beta Test Request

    I looked around a bit, and I am a complete rookie with CL, but have been doing some ose lately. The treasure entries do not include "Type T" there was instead a "Type Tusks". Which I did find amusing, didn't match. Going through pages and tags, I found a stat block for "elf-monster" and...

    Prep-Time to Play-Time Ratio

    I know this is an old thread, but I just stumbled across it. For me when I first started Gming, it was probably 2:1, and half of that was at the table while we were playing. Then as I learned more I got it down to 1:1 with that first group of people. Since then I played quite a bit and advanced...

    Your biggest encounter mistakes?

    Something I have done in the past to curb the player knowing more than the PC was to change the appearance or description to something unfamiliar. We all get ahead of ourselves sometimes and react to what we think is happening, it is a good lesson to relearn. The worst is a Nilbog, if any of you...

    Your biggest encounter mistakes?

    Situations like that I usually adjust on the fly behind the scenes. If it is apparent they are going to win and it is just going to take forever, I will create a situation where the npc tries something that goes horribly wrong and moves the "damage track" ahead several rounds. Or something...

    Your biggest encounter mistakes?

    One of my recurring issues is not encountering the encounter. I get the encounter all set up, have ideas attached and outcomes planned for, and then somehow either forget to put the encounter in the way of the PCs, or they avoid the situation completely. It is annoying, but I just sigh...

    What is your preferred VTT and why?

    I had seen something about that but haven't checked it out yet. I will have to do that. Edit: So I have checked out the video, and it looks very nice. I will have to dive in deeper when I have some free time and see what all the options are. I know I am attached to allowing my players to log in...

    What is your preferred VTT and why?

    I have a 42" tv in the corner of the room for my PS4 that I hook up the general foundry map on. But we all have PCs that we connect to Foundry with to enable players to move their toons. I will say it was very satisfying the first time someone moved onto a teleport square and their toon...

    What is your preferred VTT and why?

    This is an older topic, but thought I would speak up. I like having books on the table, but am coming to like having PDFs on my PC. I find it personally more convenient. That does seem to lend itself to VTT use, I blame Herolab. LOL. When we started using that we all started to use PCs at the...

    Fate (Fantasy)

    Thanks, good points to remember. I have read that some people think Nova is aspect heavy, with this being my first time into it and nothing to compare it to, it doesn't seem too bad to me. Of course comparison and perspective are a subject of conversation and controversy on its own.

    Fate (Fantasy)

    So if I may chime in, I just came across Nova Praxis recently and fell in love with the story. I had not heard of or knew about Fate system before that. So we are starting it last week (made characters), and finishing that up this week and going to try some game play. For this first run with it...

    2 player games

    IMHO the market you speak of is aimed at PvP style games instead of a single player guided by another. I have found that most solo situations presented in games can be easily modified for 2-3 people to play using the same rules. We did that for Twilight 2k, took turns describing the actions of...

    Saving Your Villages From Murder Hobos?

    I am on board with the "every action has a reaction". I shy away from using a higher local force to punish transgressors, but an odd curse or encounter coming from the shadows seems to keep them "honest". Of course I am blessed with the fact of being with the same general group of people for 20...
